Jurgen Locadia: I said 'why would Brighton want me now?'

Brighton striker Jurgen Locadia has revisited his surprise January move from PSV Eindhoven.

Locadia admits Brighton's approach came as a shock as he was injured at the time.

He recalled to Voetbal International: "I got a message from my agent on the Thursday: Call me ... When I had him on the phone, he said there was an agreement between PSV and Brighton.

"I was injured, so why would a club come now? But he was serious.

"Well, from that moment on it was of course a storm in my head. I was completely unsettled. Premier League. Play against Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. The walhalla for every footballer."
